Short Fact Or Fiction Poems

Edgar Allan Poe

Told tales of so much woe.

After all the drugs he'd taken

Fact from fiction was mistaken....

Mangled words and arcane diction,
Are in fact my fiction,
Artifacts: predilections, for attention and prediction....

Twitter is an addiction
A serious affliction
Like heroin, meth, or crack
With this monkey on one's back
Lost between fact and fiction...

There’s a terrible disease going aroun’,
And I’m afraid this is a fact, not fiction;
In the country, the suburbs, even downtown -
It’s the horrifying rhyming addiction....

The truth or secret
Cloaking device, the Eldridge
Invisible lie?

Holy Spirit
is fact not fiction
it is here within us now 
felt as divine bliss magnetism 

we are in the physical
so God too is here
keeping us alive
with His breath

acknowledge this
love Him

Preying on the truth
politics sets the trap
Isolating fact from fiction
always on attack

Their circles non-concentric
each area zero-sum
To tempt your fate with poison bait
—never to become

Belief..
       in grief
awakes trust,
defeats despair
subdues rage,
        deciphers
fact from fiction:
breathes
            hope
refutes
            lies
purges
            pity
stands firm
diminishes time...

such grace 
provides solace...

guru chakra and sahasrara
combine to accentuate 
mood and mode contemplative
bliss hums with potent power
as toroidal heart joins the play
feeling soma nectar dripping

forgive our diction
but this is fact, not fiction
and certainly not metaphorical...

Bliss thunder potent, transforms us
We become living light
Why in earth would we make a fuss
When heightens heart’s delight

Ego’s crucifixion 
The truth: fact not fiction
Cause: benign bliss friction

Amigo moment
Bliss thunder potent...

It may be false
The way I feel
But still the cost
Is just as real

Perhaps it’s not
What I assume
Is red not hot
Is late, too soon

I can’t accuse
Without the facts
Despite the clues
The swinging axe

It’s clear to me
The way things are
It’s what I see
The fetch, not far...

I picked it. 
I read it.
I recommended it!
I released it…

I have fought the battle, 
and won the war.
I have achieved an “end”
and been sent home.

The book… 
is still traveling.
Small soldier
marching on.

Myth and legend
fact, and fiction.
Never ending…
Volumes turned to stone....

Biographies of different kinds,
Orwell with Atwood, intertwined,
Old books, new books, a thousand rhymes,
Keeping their words, holding those lines,
Singing caged birds, sit whistling chimes,
Histories, mysteries, marking time,
Every volume, fixed on my mind,
Lexicons, for a world we can't find,
Fact versus fiction, yours and mine.

what is poetry and what is it not
what is it you will take from the table
and what exactly have you ever brought

maybe fact or fiction, truth or fable
maybe you could try to write from your soul
but only if you’re willing and able

will you try and help others, what’s your goal
could you ever share the poetry soup
or will you simply just fill your own bowl...

To those of us who believe 
We recognize things like these. 
Quiet tributes rectify 
Unerringly unify. 

Passed-on loved one happily 
Communicates airily. 
You may ignore, they insist; 
Deny this faith?  It persists. 

Fact or fiction to you 
Matters not 
It's written now, it's cool. 
This is hot. 

Emotions spent 
There are times when 
Voices are meant 
To say, “Amen!”...

BIRDS
chirping birds 
on an oak tree 
in the longest day 

BUTTERFLY 
a common butterfly feasting on a flower 
it is the last supper 
times up 

FATIMA 
shepherd children 
a vision of an angel 
fact or fiction 

CAT 
a cat 
sleeps anywhere and everywhere 
not fussy 

CRICKETS 
silence reigns continuously 
except for the crickets 
chirping...

Imagine cool heat enlivening our spine,
pulsating therefrom, engulfing feeble form,
magnetic power with which all nodes align,
orbiting spiritual heart, always warm,
wherefrom bliss beats rise as love for love does pine,
enveloping presence in this benign storm.
Oh worthy hermit, this is fact not fiction;
soul's transmutation, ego’s crucifixion.

Fact and Fiction are two words that cause a lot of friction
Therefore, sometimes it’s all about the diction

Like a poem they both have meaning
To the audience you are seeking

A fact though is just that, in that it is proved
Fiction though just tends to lend us clues

The best way therefore for us to act
Is to stick with the facts 

Fact is truth and reality
Fiction just fantasy

DAMO...

What is a poem?    
                   A poem can be alot of things.
                 In a poem you can express your deepest,
          hopes,fears,dreams,love,happiness,sadness.
                   A poem does not have to rhyme.                      A poem is a work of art straight from the heart and mind. 
                    A poem can be fact or fiction.
                 Either way a poem is a true work of art!...

Every time I think I understand the world
I find that I am sadly mistaken
Truths are never fully validated
And for every truth refuted
My doubt, my skepticism grows
Losing trust in the world around me
Losing the ability to tell fact from fiction
Where is the answer?
Where is any answer?
I shall continue my wayward spiral
Into the vast darkness of uncertainty
Where is the light when darkness is just as dim?...

Like a phantom apparition
That caught my eyes by deep surprise 
Was he really fact or fiction 
Or tricky clouds just caught my eyes 

I saw God but I'm still breathing 
When only dead could see his face 
They say that seeing is believing 
But then my mind has wiped his trace 

I saw God in depth of dreams 
Telling me right to take his ways 
But sway of dark is tempting, it seems 
Dark clouds keep capping my sunny days...

'Neath starry skies I sit and muse
Enjoying the heavenly views
Distant marvels beyond compare
 Thoughts shift beyond this atmosphere
To celestial life out there
With sightings of UFO's passing near
 But  Never   landing  anywhere
Will these aliens ever dwell  here?
Or are they life forms we should fear?
Perhaps  a fictional affair
Fact or fiction, it can  confuse
  Let your imagination choose

In the depths of the abstruse pages 
A quill transcribes fathomless thought
Feathered ideas guilelessly tethered to
Existence with a black ink onslaught

The same plume that once lifted its own maker 
To heights undreamed of on the ground
Disembogues reflections of speculations 
On white pages that are now confound

A blank slate now full of words
From those who have come before
leaves us to cipher fact from fiction
At the confluence of winged lure...
